Pussy Cat Pussy Cat

A different look at a nursery rhyme. Those cats can be so naughty, can’t they? Naughty and manipulative. That’s why I’m not a cat person, give me a faithful dog any day.

Pussy cat, pussy cat
You’ve got to move out!
Not so loud, no need to shout.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
What have you done?
I ate all the meat, now there is none.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
What should I do?
Don’t scream and yell, don’t throw your shoe.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
Why cause me stress?
I know you like it when I cause a mess.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
Will you ever be good?
If you feed me and love me just as you should.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
Have you no shame?
What about you? You’d do the same.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
What can I say?
Say that you’ll love me every day.

Hi,
This is an interesting
piece. I find it funny,
but also sense a struggle
for who is in charge.
Very much of an inside
story going on. Good job!

Hi, I wrote this poem for a poet friend of mine – she’s a cat person, I’m a dog person, but we get on fine anyway!

I’ve lived with a cat once, she belonged to my husband when I first met him. Emma & I got on OK, but I wasn’t sad when she went to live somewhere else – she was happy to go too – she never forgave us for bringing a schnauzer pup into the household.

Cats intrigue me though, and I’ve written many poems about them, trying to get inside the feline mind. I feel this poem is the closest one, but cat lovers may disagree.
